    Default SBS, AOW & Prohibited Offensive Weapon

    OK.... So I have an legal SBR which I know I can conceal with a License because it's considered a firearm in PA.

    Can I do the same with an taxed SBS?

    Reading 18 Pa.C.S. § 908: Prohibited offensive weapons, a sawed off shotgun is a prohibited offensive weapon. Note that a SBR is not mentioned here.

    Under 18 Pa.C.S. § 6102: Definitions, a firearm is any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches.

    Which is it- A firearm or a prohibited Offensive weapon?

    How does AOW come into play?
    With great power comes great responsibility....
